Wow. Thank you so very much. I, too, have been sining snippets of this song in my head since elementary school. However, we did not sing it as a graduation piece, but as a memorial to one of my classmates, Melissa, who drowned. There is a beautiful funtain and a painted mural by teacher and students for her. Never would have thoughthis song was so popular. It was chance that I just decided to try looking it up. So thank you again.
